Zubereitung von Cornish Game Hens With Orange Stuffing

Finely shred 1/4 teaspoon of orange zest (the outer colored part of the peel) using a microplane or fine grater.
Remove and discard the remaining white pith from the orange peel.
Section one orange over a bowl, juicing it thoroughly. You should aim for about 1/4 cup of juice.
Halve the orange segments and set aside.
Add enough water to the orange segments to make a total of 3 tablespoons of liquid.
In a small pan, sauté 1/4 cup chopped green onions and 1/2 cup chopped celery in 1 tablespoon of olive oil until tender-crisp (about 5 minutes).
In a medium bowl, prepare the stuffing by combining the orange zest, orange segments, cooked onion and celery mixture, 1 cup of your favorite stuffing mix (bread-based or herb-based), and enough of the reserved orange juice to moisten (about 2-3 tablespoons).
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large, rectangular baking pan, spoon the stuffing into four mounds.
Rinse the Cornish hens thoroughly and pat them completely dry with paper towels.
Place each hen, cavity-side down, on top of a mound of stuffing.
Loosely cover the baking pan with aluminum foil.
Roast for 30 minutes.
Remove the foil and continue roasting for another 20 minutes.
In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons of honey and 1 tablespoon of water.
Brush the honey mixture generously over the hens.
Roast uncovered for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the hens are cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) in the thickest part of the thigh.
Carefully transfer the hens and stuffing to dinner plates using a wide spatula. Garnish with orange slices, if desired.
